Will The Rock’s Red One be the worst Christmas movie ever? (www.theguardian.com)

Red One, the upcoming Christmas movie from Amazon, is arguably among the most talked-about of the year. However, until now, the conversation has had little to do with the film itself. Instead, Red One looks set to go down in history as the film that tanked Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s reputation....

How dare you. The SWHS is the greatest christm- uh, Life Day movie ever made, an absurdist masterpiece. AI wishes it could make something as incoherent.

A bicycle is not good enough to transport cargo or large items

Skill issue

It is very easy to accidentally puncture a bicycle wheel tube

Skill issue

A bicycle can be stolen from you more easily than a car

True, but a bike costs a fraction of a car, so it’s also much less of an issue if it happens

The bicycle does not protect you from rain and snow and is more difficult to ride on ice, mud and puddles

What if the wheels fell off every single car in the world at the same time? I can come up with ridiculous hypotheticals too.
What about all the ambulances that no longer have to pick up to traffic collision victims? What about the ambulances being able to transport people faster due to the roads being clear of traffic? It’s not just a ridiculous hypothetical, it’s one that’s much more likely to happen with cars around.

Nah, I saw some kids stealing a bike in town the other week, and they did it in a few seconds maybe 3 or 4 metres from a security guard. Smart kids, they acted in the moment I walked between them and the guard with pit crew-like efficiency - two steadying the bars, one cutting and removing the lock, and the last getting on the bike - so by the time the security guard called out they were already riding and running away. You can steal a car fast, but not that fast, and not in the middle of a crowded city centre.

The cops definitely don’t give the slightest shit, but it’s not the only reason.
